Ladies, is your purse as big as mine? I feel like my posture has 
been permanently ruined from carrying a huge, heavy bag on the same shoulder for 8 years and counting. Before I started prepping, my purse would hold books, sunglasses, gum, books, my wallet, and books (notice a theme?). Now that I’m a little more prepared, here’s a partial list of what I tote around. An added benefit: anything that’s in my purse doesn’t take up any storage space in my apartment!
- A small flashlight
- A small first aid kit
- A Leatherman multi-tool
- Water in a steel bottle
- Assorted granola bars (I’ve been liking Clif
- CPR mask and latex/rubber gloves
- Pepper spray
- Extra hair ties
- Sunscreen
- Survival blanket
- Reusable shopping bag (I have one that folds up to the size of a cell phone)
- Small radio
- Garbage bag
It sounds like a lot, but it actually doesn’t take up too much space….good thing, because I still tote around a small library every day. I recently finished Atlas Shrugged (Ayn Rand) and The Hot Zone (Richard Preston), I would HIGHLY recommend both!
Do you carry any survival items in your purse (or backpack)?
Read any good books lately? 🙂
